Transcripts

How do I request a transcript? There are three options when it comes to ordering transcripts. You may come in person to 5115 Oak Street, Room 115; or mail your request to UMKC Transcripts, 5100 Rockhill Road, KCMO 64110; or send your request by Fax to (816) 235-5513. Why can't this be done electronically? The key to transcript requests is your signature. It is this one point that prevents us from accepting either e-mail or telephone transcript requests. Along with your signature, please include your full name as it appeared on your records while you were here, your student number, the destination where you want your transcript sent and payment. If you do not know your student number, include your date of birth and/or Social Security Number. We charge $5.00 per transcript. (For FAX requests, we accept VISA, MASTERCARD and DISCOVER credit cards. Include your account number and your account expiration date in your FAX request.) The UMKC transcript request form is available online.

How long will it take? Transcripts are mailed within 3 working days following receipt of the transcript request but frequently are mailed the day after receipt.  Students who attended prior to 1975 may experience a delay in transcript processing since these records are kept on microfilm. Transcripts are mailed by standard U.S. Postal Service first-class delivery unless otherwise prepaid.  Transcripts can be faxed for an additional $5.00 per fax number. Faxed transcripts are not considered official by UMKC and many other schools. Express delivery through the U.S. Postal Service is available for an additional $20.00 per address.  Overnight delivery by Federal Express is also available. Delivery charges are billed directly to the student if paying by credit card.  With each delivery option, care will be taken to protect against the release of information to parties other than those authorized by the student, but UMKC assumes no responsibility for the accidental release of information to unauthorized persons. What is an "official" transcript? Official transcripts (UMKC definition) are those sent directly to an employer or another institution of higher education or to any third party on behalf of the student. If the student receives the transcript before the third party, it is no longer considered by us to be official. We offer "Issued to Student in a Sealed Envelope" transcripts which are sometimes considered official by third parties. How can I get more information?
